ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 22, 2091

I thought I’d finally met the man of my dreams…

Marlowe

I’ve planned this night for weeks, down to the last detail. I want it to be perfect. Bringing someone new into my private life is not something I do lightly, having learned the hard way over the years that celebrity has a dark downside that I go out of my way to avoid whenever possible.

But he is different. We’ve been together for months and the time is right to take this next step with him.

It doesn’t take long for me to realize I’ve made a huge mistake trusting this man.

Before things go from bad to worse, I have the presence of mind to know I’m in big, big trouble.

Marlowe Sloane’s story, FAMOUS, is the thrilling conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Quantum Series.

•••••••••••••

REVIEW: FAMOUS is the eighth ( and final? ) instalment in Marie Force’s contemporary, adult QUANTUM erotic, BDSM, romance series focusing on the men and women who own and work for the Hollywood production company Quantum. This is academy award winning actress Marlowe Sloane’s story line. FAMOUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory, history and cohesion.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several first person perspectives including Marlowe Sloane FAMOUS follows the last single member of the Quantum family as she endeavors to find love; to bring someone into the lifestyle of which she has desired. As a Domme/switch in Quantum’s dungeon, Marlowe has had her choice of submissives but her most recent introduction to Quantum leaves Marlowe struggling to survive. Rescued by a member of the Quantum family, Marlowe soon discovers her attraction to a man to whom she thought of as a friend. Hidden from the press, and the people in charge, Marlowe and her rescuer succumb to their passion and attraction but not before issues of self-esteem threaten to destroy their burgeoning relationship.

FAMOUS is a story of betrayal, power and control; a story of family, friendship, survival and love. Marie Force pulls the reader into a powerful story of domestic violence, endurance and the #metoo movement in the face of Hollywood’s controlling elite. Hidden behind the big mansions and fancy clothes lies a secret that is about to be exposed. The premise is raw and forceful; the characters are strong and sensitive-the author brings together the Quantum family as they circle the proverbial wagons to protect one of their own; the $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense; the romance is seductive and passionate. FAMOUS is a dramatic, provocative and timely conclusion to Marie Force’s wonderful QUANTUM series.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 14, 2018

She drives him crazy… In more ways than one.

Every time Leah Holt encounters Quantum Production’s chief counsel, Emmett Burke, the only thing she can think of is how much she wants to lick him. Everywhere. She’s never had that kind of reaction to a man, and the fact that he’s a much-older colleague makes her out-of-control attraction to him far more complicated than it should be. Every day, she brings a new legal question to Emmett, hoping to catch his attention and make him see her as a grown woman who wants him desperately. She walks a fine line in trying to remain professional as the assistant to superstar Marlowe Sloane while lusting after Marlowe’s sexy attorney.

To Emmett, Leah is a fly buzzing around his head who can’t be swatted away. She’s always there, looking at him, asking him legal questions that have nothing to do with his specialty in entertainment law and generally driving him mad with her overt sexiness and sassy mouth. He wants to toss her over his desk and run the sass right out of her, which is hardly the way a professional who loves his job should behave in the office—especially with a young, fresh, sexy colleague. As the author of the company’s policy on inter-office dating, he’s painfully aware of all the reasons he should stay far, far away from her and the tantalizing temptation she represents.

Then Leah gets her chance to step up for Emmett, to help him through an unfortunate “accident” and to show him she’s much more than just a smart mouth and a sexy body. When she realizes she has genuine feelings for him—and that those feelings are returned—she wonders if he will take a chance on her or continue to hold her at arm’s length. Slowly but surely, she chips away at his resistance, and he begins to crave more of her. But Emmett knows if he’s going to let her in, he has to let her all the way in. What will she think when he introduces her to his BDSM lifestyle? Will she still want him the way she does now or will she run away in horror? And what will he do if she runs away?

When Leah confronts a dangerous threat from her past, Emmett is forced to acknowledge that his “annoying little fly” has worked her way firmly into his heart—and his bed.

Also, join the entire Quantum team at the company’s vineyard in Napa for Hayden and Addie’s wedding!

••••••••••••

REVIEW: OUTRAGEOUS is the seventh instalment in Marie Force’s contemporary, adult QUANTUM erotic, BDSM, romance series. This is Quantum’s in-house attorney thirty-four year old, Emmett Burke, and twenty-four year old, PA Leah Holt’s story line. OUTRAGEOUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: OUTRAGEOUOS is an erotic story line with scenes of light bondage, spanking, D/s and anal play that may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several first person perspectives including Leah and Emmett OUTRAGEOUS follows Leah Holt as she embarks on a slow seduction of Quantum’s in-house attorney Emmett Burke. For months Leah, PA to megastar Marlowe Sloane, has battled her attraction to Emmett Burke, but not one to stand in the shadows waiting for something to happen, Leah becomes the aggressor as she plays a dangerous game in her attempts to bewitch and beguile Quantum’s attorney. With Hayden and Addie’s wedding only days away, Leah sets a timeline to ‘implement Operation Nail Emmett Burke’. Unaware of Emmett’s passion for the kinky side of life, Leah will be drawn towards a submissive side that is not-so perfect for her dominating personality. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Emmett and Leah, and the potential fall-out as Leah’s past demands a second chance, a chance that endangers our heroine’s life.

Emmett Burke doesn’t do relationships, and has only loved one woman that destroyed his heart. As the chief legal counsel to Flynn, Hayden, Marlowe, Jasper and Kristian, the principal shareholders of Quantum, Emmett is well aware of a fraternization policy, a policy he himself wrote and enforces. Taking a chance with Leah in the hopes of shocking the woman out of her attempts to seduce our story line hero, Emmett grants Leah one-night of passion but one-night will never be enough for Emmett and Leah. When Leah’s past insists on a reconciliation, Emmett becomes her protector but is unable to stop the disaster about to unfold.

The relationship between Emmett and Leah is one of mutual attraction but their ten-year age difference, and his membership at Quantum’s elite BDSM sex club are big deterrents for our story line hero in his potential sexual endeavors with Leah Holt. Leah’s ongoing attempts to seduce and entice Emmett into something more will fail miserably when Leah battles between head and heart knowing Emmett wants nothing to do with forever or a happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive with scenarios of light bondage, spanking, D/s and anal play.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar, secondary and supporting characters as the team from Quantum prepare for the upcoming nuptials between Hayden and Addie. Marlowe Sloane has a new man in her life but Sebastian waits in the shadows. Marlowe’s storyline is next in FAMOUS.

OUTRAGEOUS is a sexy, spicy, and steamy story line. The premise is intriguing and enticing; the characters are animated and charismatic; the romance is passionate and intense. OUTRAGEOUS is an intoxicating story with playful and provocative situations that will titillate and tease.

Leah

I want to lick him. I want to strip him naked and lick every hill and valley of his muscular body. I want to know if all his muscles are as big as the ones on his arms. I want to ride him like a cowgirl. And then I want to ride him like a reverse cowgirl.

My obsession with Emmett Burke began on my first day at Quantum Productions, where I work as assistant to megastar Marlowe Sloane, a Quantum partner and overall amazing, badass woman. On day one, Emmett was charged with reviewing the company’s nondisclosure agreement with me. Even with Flynn Godfrey’s assistant, Addie, sitting with us, I didn’t hear a word Emmett said about the NDA because I was so fixated on his obscenely sexy mouth. Right there in the Quantum office, I had visions of all the places I’d like to feel that mouth.

Then he mentioned how I could be sued for discussing Quantum business or the partners outside of work, and that got my attention off his mouth, for a second or two, long enough to sign the NDA. I would never blow the amazing opportunity my friend Natalie secured for me after she fell in love with Flynn the superstar and ran away to Hollywood to marry him. But I sure would love the opportunity to blow Flynn’s attorney.

At her wedding, Natalie hooked me up with Marlowe, who hired me on the spot and bought out my contract with the charter school I’d worked for in New York—unhappily, I might add. Teaching wasn’t for me. Being the assistant to one of the top movie stars in the world? Hell to the yes, that’s for me. Marlowe paid for my move to LA, and now that I’m here, doing a job I truly love, I’m the envy of everyone I know.

Telling tales out of school—no pun intended—is not going to happen. I’d never do anything to screw up this sweet deal and the amazing opportunity I’ve been given to have a career I couldn’t have dreamed up for myself.

But me and Emmett Burke? That is so going to happen. If I can just figure out a way to break through his uptight, always-professional demeanor to find the hot-blooded man under the three-thousand-dollar suits that have to be handmade for him because no off-the-rack suit would fit those biceps.

In the meantime, I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about licking him and trying to come up with reasons to talk to him. I wish I had the balls to come right out and tell him I want to suck his dick until he explodes down my throat, but something tells me that wouldn’t be the best career move I could make.

While Emmett isn’t one of the Quantum principals—and let me tell you, the word principal in this business is a whole lot different than it was in the school business—he is best friends and chief legal counsel to Flynn, Hayden, Marlowe, Jasper and Kristian, otherwise known as the bosses. That means I need to tread lightly and keep my drooling and licking to a minimum.

But God help that man if I ever get him alone in a bedroom—or any room that isn’t an office in the building where we both work. I have to laugh at how ridiculous this obsession has become, because it’s truly out of character for me. Before now, before Emmett, my interest in men has been more along the lines of wham-bam-thank-you-sir. I’ve never actually given a shit about any of them. But this one… This one is different, and I knew it right away. Every time I’ve been with him since that first day, and I’m “with him” just about every day, between work and play—these people love to party—I only want him more than I did the day before. It’s insanity. I willingly admit that, but I have no desire to make it stop. No, my desire is entirely focused on making it start.

Sometimes, when I’m home alone at night with my trusty rabbit, I allow my wildest fantasies to take flight. I picture myself with Emmett in every conceivable position, as well as a few that haven’t been invented yet. I’ve begun to anticipate rabbit time a little too eagerly, which is worrisome. I’ve never been the kind of girl to run from a challenge, but I suspect Emmett thinks I’m too young and immature for him.

There’s really no one I can talk to about my “dilemma,” since my closest friends here also work for Quantum or are married or engaged to the partners. Of course, they’re the ones whose opinions I most want because they know him better than I ever will at this frustrating rate.

I’m going to have three whole days with him when we head up to Napa at the end of this coming week for Hayden and Addie’s wedding. I’ve been counting the days with plans to implement Operation Nail Emmett Burke while we’re there. I figure I only need to get Marlowe and Sebastian out of the way, because other than Emmett and me, they’re the only ones who aren’t in relationships. With lovebirds circling all around us, I expect the four of us to end up on our own quite a bit and will fully exploit any opportunities that present themselves without humiliating myself in front of Marlowe.

Fine line that’ll be…

I’ve made up my mind that the weekend in Napa is go time. Enough fantasizing about what I’d do if I had a night with him. It’s time to make those fantasies a reality.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 12, 2017

As one of Hollywood’s hottest producers, Kristian Bowen is on top of the world. With the Quantum team is fresh off a clean sweep of awards season and looking ahead to the premiere of their new film, Insidious, Kristian’s life is exactly how he likes it, complete with a stable of willing subs to tend to his every desire. Until he attends the wedding of his friend and business partner Flynn Godfrey and meets Aileen Gifford, the close friend of Flynn’s new wife, Natalie. Since meeting Aileen five months ago, Kristian’s carefully cultivated life has changed in ways he never could’ve expected. Now Aileen and her children are moving to Los Angeles, and he’s not sure whether to be excited or terrified about his powerful feelings for the single mom…

Aileen is coming off the worst year of her life, spent battling breast cancer while taking care of two young children. When Natalie, Flynn and their other friends encourage Aileen to move to LA and work for Quantum, she jumps at the chance to give her family a fresh start. And with her off-the-charts attraction to Flynn’s business partner in the mix, the idea of living in LA becomes that much sweeter. Until everyone shows up to welcome her and the kids to their new home in LA—except Kristian.

He can’t avoid her forever, and when these two finally see each other again, sparks fly between the single mom and the producer with a past he’s kept hidden from everyone who matters to him. When that past rears its ugly head, will he run away from the woman he loves or turn to her for comfort in the storm? And will she prevail in convincing him that he can be himself, in every possible way, with her?

Kristian and Aileen’s long-awaited story is full of heat, heart and humor, as well as appearances from all the Quantum characters readers love!

••••••

REVIEW: DELIRIOUS is the sixth installment in M.S. Force’s contemporary, adult QUANTUM erotic, BDSM, romance series. This is Hollywood producer and Quantum owner Kristian Bowen, and single mom/ PA Aileen Gifford’s story line. DELIRIOUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for cohesion and backstory. Books 1-3 are Flynn and Nat’s story, and each additional story line focuses on a different couple.

NOTE: DELIRIOUS is an erotic storyline with scenes of BDSM, spanking, bondage, anal and oral sex, as well as domination and submission.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kristian and Aileen) DELIRIOUS follows the building relationship between Hollywood producer Kristian Bowen, and single mother Aileen Gifford. Aileen is a cancer survivor; a single mother of two young children who, with the encouragement and support of best friend Natalie and husband Flynn Godfrey, embarks on a cross country journey to start anew in Los Angeles, California. Five months earlier Aileen met and fell in love with producer Kristian Bowen, a man who keeps secret a dark and lonely past that could destroy everything he has become. With Aileen’s arrival in LA Kristian begins to withdraw believing he isn’t worthy of a woman like Aileen Gifford-a woman who proves to be stronger than the disease that almost destroyed her life. What ensues is the building romance between Aileen and Kristian, Aileen’s introduction into the BDSM lifestyle, and the potential fall out when Kristian’s early life becomes public knowledge.

The relationship between Kristian and Aileen is one of immediate attraction that continues to build with Aileen’s move to Los Angeles, California. Kristian’s dark past prevents our hero from moving forward believing himself unworthy of Aileen’s love. The $ex scenes are erotic, intense and seductive.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including all of the previous story line couples, as well as the introduction of Aileen’s children Logan and Maddie.

The world building continues to focus on the Quantum –both the production company and elite, private BDSM sex club.

DELIRIOUS is a sexy, edgy and heartbreaking story line of one man’s struggle between his public image and the truth about his past; and one woman’s battle to convince the man with whom she is falling in love, is worth everything and more. The premise is encouraging and entertaining; the characters are energetic, inspiring and intelligent; the romance is sensual, passionate and provocative. DELIRIOUS is an erotic, wicked and tender story of romance and love.

She wants a baby. He wants her. Simple enough, right?

Ellie Godfrey has kissed her share of frogs. So many, in fact, that she fears she won’t recognize her prince if and when he finally comes along. Tired of waiting for THE ONE, Ellie decides to have a baby on her own before it’s too late.

When Jasper Autry hears about Ellie’s plan, what else can he do but step in and offer to “contribute” to her project. Does that make him an opportunist? Whatever. He wants the perpetually out-of-reach Ellie Godfrey, and when he sees his chance, he takes it. That she’s the sister of his business partner and close friend Flynn gives him pause, but it doesn’t stop him from having what he wants.

As Jasper and Ellie embark upon their secret “project,” he makes it clear that for as long as they’re together, he’s in charge—in the bedroom anyway. After the hottest sex of her life, Ellie realizes she’s made a deal with the devil himself.

Warning: If you hate foul-mouthed heroes who like it a little rough and dirty, this might not be the book for you…Contains hot and sexy BDSM scenes among other things that might not appeal to the faint of heart. Enter at your own risk and enjoy!

•••••••••••••••

REVIEW: RAVENOUS is the fifth installment in M. S. Force’s contemporary, adult QUANTUM erotic, romance, BDSM series. This is academy award winning cinematographer Jasper Autry, and Ellie Godfrey’s story line. Ellie is the sister of Flynn Godfrey, and Jasper is a man with a secreted past. RAVENOUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for cohesion and backstory. Books 1-3 are Flynn and Nat’s story, and each additional story line focuses on a different couple.

NOTE: RAVENOUS is an erotic storyline with scenes of light BDSM, spanking, bondage, anal (including butt plugs etc) and oral sex, as well as domination and submission.

Told from dual first person points of view (Ellie and Jasper) RAVENOUS focuses on the friends to lovers/forbidden relationship between long time friends and co-workers Ellie Godfrey and British born Jasper Autry. Ellie is almost thirty-seven years old and with most of her family and friends married or in long-term relationships, our heroine has decided that if she wants to start a family, she is going to do it alone. Enter Jasper Autry, the man who has loved Ellie since the moment they met, and a man who offers himself as Ellie’s ‘baby daddy’ with no strings attached except that she must try to conceive the old-fashioned way. What ensues is the building relationship between Ellie and Jasper, and Jasper’s attempts to keep secret- his BDSM lifestyle from Ellie; their relationship from Ellie’s brother Flynn; and a rather important piece of information about his family back home and what the future holds when the truth is revealed.

The relationship between Ellie and Jasper is one of friends to lovers that finds Jasper Autry crossing the line when jealousy and emotions begin to push the friendship towards a happily ever after. The sexual chemistry is palpable; the attraction immediate and intense. Ellie is a woman determined to have a child but continues to look for someone who would make the perfect father. Jasper is a man who has a difficult time with Ellie’s plans for the future when his own future could change at a moment’s notice. The $ex scenes are erotically charged, intimate, tender and exploratory. Our hero is a man who is dominant in the bedroom, likes anal and oral sex, and prefers to discipline his lovers when they disobey his commands. Like the previous story line premises, the heroine is innocent to the BDSM lifestyle, and the hero must make the choice whether to introduce the woman that he loves into a world she knows nothing about.

Most of the previous story line couples and characters play secondary and supporting roles including Flynn and Nat, Hayden and Addison, and friends and co-workers at Quantum-Sebastian, Kristian, Aileen, Emmett, Leah and Marlowe; Ellie and Flynn’s parents Max Godfrey and Estelle Flynn; and Jasper’s parents back in the UK. I am looking forward to the potential pairings between Leah and Emmett. and Kristian and Aileen. Devon Black-the owner of the BDSM Club Black Vice makes a cameo appearance when our heroine becomes intrigued with Jasper’s BDSM lifestyle.

RAVENOUS looks at family and friendship; betrayal and revenge; love and a happily ever after. The premise is seductive and emotional; the characters are colorful, complex, and passionate; the romance is vibrant and intoxicating. RAVENOUS is a great addition to MS Force’s QUANTUM series.

Description:
Someone wants Captain Admiral Zander Graydon dead. Like yesterday. Zander’s convinced his attractive assistant knows more than she’s willing to say, and if he can stop running long enough, he’ll find out exactly what she’s hiding. Lieutenant Marshal Mae Petros is determined to keep her CO safe. Before she tips her hand, however, Mae has to figure out if the alluring man she’s protecting is the real Captain Admiral Graydon. Or an alien shape-shifting imposter.

On the run and no one to trust…not even each other.

Captain Admiral Zander Graydon has seen a lot of action, but almost getting killed three times in one day is pushing it. Only the company of his new assistant, Lieutenant Marshal Mae Petros, makes things a little easier to swallow. Except the delectable Lieutenant Marshal Petros is hiding a number of secrets, and her presence might have something to do with the continued attempts on his life.

It’s no accident Lieutenant Marshal Mae Petros finds herself in the firing line alongside the charming but very off-limits Captain Admiral Graydon. She’s taken the job as the admiral’s assistant to determine if a shape-shifting alien has killed the CO and assumed his form. Whether the admiral is human or not, Mae finds herself getting way too close to him as they run for their lives. 

Military to the core, Mae and Zander will have to overcome their suspicions of each other to work together, when they realize the fate of the entire universe is at stake.
 

Review:

Quantum by Jess Anastasi was such a fun read?  It’s the second book in the Atrophy series. I do not think you need to read the first, but I had a feeling it probably would have helped. There may have been some background on a few of the characters, and it did jump from one ship to another (these characters were in the first book.) The continuing story is to do with a war against an alien species (Reidar) 

Mae and Zander are both dedicated to their jobs. Neither having much of a social life. After meeting at the space station, they make their way to the shuttle that will take them back to the Captain Admirals ship. But things don’t to go according to plan ……. 

Surviving a crash, the two characters and a couple of crew members are forced to make a shelter and survive in a wilderness planet, until they are rescued. The story moves at a good pace. Very descriptive, and well written. The characters are brought to life and very believable. 

The story keeps you wondering ….. Is Zander a shape shifter? Did he kill the Captain Admiral and take his place for a more sinister reason ? 

The feelings between Mae and Zander have an instant attraction feeling, but Mae needs to be cautious, she can’t fall for a shape shifter, they are at war with the aliens, but as she gets to know him, the lines become blurry, What’s a girl to do ? 

Zander knows his new lieutenant Marshall has a big secret, but they have time on board his ship to find out those secrets. But the crash will put things on hold, as they dance back and forward with their attraction. What will he think when he finds out that’s she’s only interested in him until she works out if he’s a threat to the war that they are fighting?

I have not read a space story before, but I’d totally recommend this book, for an afternoon of escapism ?

NOTE: RAPTUROUS is an erotic storyline with graphic scenes of BDSM rope play, spanking, bondage, anal (including butt plugs etc) and oral sex, as well as domination and submission.

REVIEW: RAPTUROUS is the fourth installment in M.S. Force’s contemporary, adult QUANTUM erotic, BDSM, romance series focusing on Academy Award winning director Hayden Roth, and personal assistant Addison York. Hayden and Addison were first introduced in the original QUANTUM trilogy featuring actor Flynn Godfrey and teacher Natalie Bryant. RAPTUROUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and history. Any important information from the previous installments is revealed where necessary. RAPTUROUS begins following the events of VICTORIOUS wherein Hayden’s movie just earned several Academy Awards including best picture, best director and best actor for Flynn Godfrey.

Told from dual first person points of view (Hayden and Addison) and a couple short chapters from Natalie’s POV, RAPTUROUS follows the friends to lovers relationship between Hayden and Addison. Addison is Flynn Godfrey’s PA, and has been in love with Hayden Roth for many years. A celebratory kiss from Hayden at the Oscar ceremonies meant something more for our leading couple, and Addison vows to seduce the man with whom she had fallen in love.

Hayden Roth is a Dominant and knows that to fall in love with Addison would mean losing more than a friend. Addison is unaware of Hayden’s kinky side and his affinity for rope play, and she has never experienced the BDSM lifestyle. Hayden needs to be in control at all times both in and out of the bedroom, and he has no plans to ever reveal that side of his life to Addison York. Revealing his lifestyle to Addison could mean losing the woman he loves. What ensues is Addison’s need to prove that she is willing to do anything including taking a walk on the wild side. When Hayden refuses to bring Addison into his BDSM lifestyle, Addison is determined to learn everything she can, up close and personal, from another source.

There is plenty of back and forth; yin and yang; and the push and pull of want and need. While Addison declares her love for Hayden, our hero continues to give mixed signals about his feelings and emotions for Addison York. The $ex scenes are erotic, and intimate. The BDSM play between Addison and Hayden is provocative and intense. Addison is a quick learner as it pertains to Hayden’s wants and needs.

All of the previous story line characters play a secondary and supporting role including Natalie and Flynn; friends and coworkers at Quantum-Sebastian, Kristian, Emmett, Leah and Marlowe; Addison’s father Simon York ; Hayden and Flynn’s friend and business partner Jasper Autry, and Flynn’s sister Ellie. Jasper and Ellie’s story is told next in RAVENOUS. We are also introduced to Devon Black-the owner of the BDSM Club Black Vice.

RAPTUROUS is a provocative story line with impassioned characters, and sensational $ex scenes. The premise is engaging and emotional; the characters are dynamic and engaging; the romance is compelling with a little bit of kink on the side. I haven’t had the chance to read the original trilogy-I am looking forward to one day catching up with Natalie and Flynn.
